Who Sit at God’s Right Hand. There was buried from St. Rose church yesterday a young man nam ed Peter Rapp, a street car driver. He was the only support of an aged lather and mother, and the priva tion and suffering which he endured that they might have a home, with such necessaries of life as his scanty wages would provide, were doubt less tiio cause of his death. The family, consisting of tho two old peo ple and Peter, who was twenty-six years of age, lived in Washington street, near Front. The father is crippled and infirm. The mother was only able to perform such light labor as was necessary in the care of their little household. All the mon ey that came into their homo was provided by the son from his small earnings. He paid their house rent supplied them with food, clothing, fuel—everything. During the past winter, and up to a short time ago wheii ho was pros trated by the disease—quick con sumption—which terminated his life he was in the employ of the Eighth street car line in the capacity of a driver. Those who know him spoak of him as a hero who died that his father and mother might live. His wages were not sufficient to provide ail with the necessaries of life and he chose that lie himself should be the one to suffer most During some of tho severest weather of the past win ter he wore neither overcoat nor underclothing, and thus contracted the cold that soon resulted in his death. It is a rule of the company that a driver must be ready to go out with his car at twenty minutes before G o’clock each morning or receive no car that day. Although young Rapp had to walk from his home in Fulton to Price’s Hill, a distance of four miles and a half, for sixty consecu tive mornings during the cold weath er of last winter, he never missed a car. It is another rule of the com pany that, when not on duty, a dri ver shall not ride on a car without paying regular fare. This rule and his poverty necessitated young Rapp walking home every night after leav ing his car. This made him a daily walk of nine miles, and this in addi tion to the fifteen hours that car dri vers are required to work each day. Standing on a car platform for fif teen hours a day, scantily clothed, perhaps hungry, walking to and from his work through the bitter weather tho suffering of this youug man must have been intense. Through it all the comfort of his father and mother was uppermost in his mind, and for two months he never spent a single cent of his wages for himself. Car drivers receive their pay every even ing, and every night he carried his lit tle pittance home and gave it to his mother, even to the last cent. From St. Rose church yesterday his re mains were borne to the grave, fol lowed by a little band of friends and neighbors. The lamentations of his aged mother touched every heart and surely a mother never wept for a nobler son. —Cincinnati Enquirer. The Jews iu Palestine. The London Standard calls atten tion to the way in which the Jews, scattered throughout the world, “are beginning to turn their eyes towards their own laud.’ The shrewdest fi nanciers of that money-making peo pie are reported to be buying up Palestine. The Jewish Chronicle reck ons that there are some eighteen thousand Jews iu Jerusalem alone, and that they annually recoive about Jjfio,ooo from their brethren abroad. Whether dependent upon others or able to support themselves, they can not be pursuaded to expatriate them selves from the old mother couutry of Judea when they are once returned there. It is probable that Lord Bea consfiedd’s oriental ambitions and his known sympathies for the regenera tion of Syria have given anew im petus to this movement. The Stand ard further says: “The possession of Palestine and a part of Syria by a people who have retained an indestructible nationali ty, while they have learnt a complete cosmopolitanism during some eigh teen centuries—a nation at once Eu ropean and Asiatic —Asiatic in origin and European in education,would not be fry any means a bad arrangement. It might not be impolitic on the part of European powers to assist in placing so influential a people in so important a position, so soon as the inevitable decay of the Turkish pow er renders a change of government necessary. All the difficulties and jealousies incident to auy project of joint occupation’ would be avoided; for the Jew is, at once, of no nation and of ali. No people could better solve what, before many years, must become the ‘Syrian difficulty. GAINESVILLE, GA., FRIDAY MORNING. MAY 16, 1879. The Yet© Message Effectually Answered by Evarts and Scliurz. By Carl Schurz in 1874: “United States Boldiers, with fixed bayonets, decided the case against them, and took them out of the legislative hall by force. * * * I cannot, there fore, escape from the deliberate conviction—a conviction conscien tiously formed—that the deed done on the 4th of January, in the State House of Louisiana, by the military forces of the United States, consti tutes a gross and manifest violation of the constitution and laws of this republic. * * * If this can be done in Louisiana, and if such things be sustained by congress, how long will it be before it can be done in Massachusetts and in Ohio? “He who in a place like ours fails to stop, or even justifies a blow at the fundamental laws of the land, makes himself the accomplice of those who strike at the life of the republic and at the liberties of the people.” By William M. Evarts, present Prime Minister of the fraudulent President, in his Cooper Institute speech: “When men vote, and when their chosen officers meet, and when without violence and without demon stration of insurrection they under take to conduct the affairs of their political government, no soldiers can interfere. “There are two very distinct firm lines of limitation, which, observed, will protect the machinery of the government for the people to-day— that is, that the sole intervention of the federal power within the State authority shall be to suppress vio lence, and that their office after that shall not assume to go further unless when invited by the supreme au thority of the State. “What use is it to give the purse and the sword to the House of Com mons if the King or the President by military power can determine what shall be the constitution of the House of Commons or the House of Congress? And that is what they fought for in England. * * And for this reason the people of tho United States are justified in assum iug that the supreme civil power shall dominate over the military, and that no merging of them or in terference with them shall be per mitted. ’’ The Pot of Gold. A cobbler in someretshire dreamed that a person told him that if he would go to London Bridge ho would meet with something to his advan tage. He dreamed the same the next night, and again the night alter. He then determined to go to London Bridge, and walked thither accord ingly. When arrived there, ho walked about the whole of the first day without anything occurring; tho next day was-passed iu a similar manner. He resumed his place the third day, and walked about till eveniug, when, g.ving it up as hope less, had determined to leave Lon don and return home. At this mo ment a stranger came up and said to him: “I have seen you for the last three days walking up and down this bridge; may I ask if you are waiting for any one?’ The answer was, ‘No!’ ‘Then what is your object in staying here?’ The cobbler then frankly told his reason for being there and the dream that had visited him three successive nights. The stranger then advised him to go homo again to his work, and no more pay any attention to dreams. ‘I myself,’ he said, ‘had about six months ago a dream. I dreamed three nights together that, if I would go into Somersetshire, in an orchard, under an apple tree, I should fiud a pot of gold; but I paid no attention to my dream, and have remained quietly at my business,’ It immediately occurred to the cobbler that the stranger described his own orchard and apple tree. He imme diately returned home aud dug un der tho apple tree and found a pot of gold. After this increase of for tune he was enabled to send his son to school, where the boy learned Latin. When he came home for the holidays, he one day examined the pot which had contained the gold, on which was some writing. He said ‘Father, I can show you that what I have learned at school is of some use.’ He then translated the Latin inscription on the pot thus: ‘Look under, and a larger quantity of gold was found.” As the story is a good one, it would be pleasant to fancy it could possibly be true. — Saturday Review. Always Busy. The more a man accomplishes the more he may. An active tool never grows rusty. You always find those meu who are the most forward to do good, or to improve the times and manners, always busy. Who start our railroads and steamboats, our machins shops and our manufacto ries ? Meu of industry and enter prise. As long as they live they keep at work doing something to benefit themselves and others. It is just so with a man who is benevolent —the more he gives the more he feels like giving. We go for activity—in body iu mind, in everything. Let the gold grow not dim, nor the thoughts become stale. Keep all things iu motion. We would rather that death should find us scaling a mountain than sinking in a mire— breasting a whirlwind than sneaking from a cloud. A tramp bill has been passed by the Pennsylvania legislatare, which provides that a man who goes about begging and has no residence or oc cupation in the county where he is arrested, may be tried for misde meanor, and sentenced to jail or the workhouse for a term not exceeding twelve months. If a tramp enters a house without the permission of the owner or occupant, or displays a dan gerous weapon iu a threatening man ner, he may be convicted of a felony, and sent to the Penitentiary for a term not exceeding three years. SMALL BITS Of Various Ivimis Carelessly thrown To gether. A matter of course—a horse race. Tramps have gorge-us times. Sharp practice—staapping a razor. Strain at a gnat and swallow a caramel. Pedestrians are made to suffer in de-feat. Women dress to kill; butchers kill to dress. Talent must glitter to take the world’s eye. An angry man should pull down his choler. Boston has a bureau for supplying choir singers. Bread made with hot water will be full of cavities. Tho best corner stono of a republic is the hearthstone, The milk of human kindness should never be skimmed. More frogs’ legs arc oaten in Amer ica than in France. Men of the world judge us by what we do in the world, Common senss, in a tight place, is better than eloquence. It is less pain to learn in youth than to be ignorant in age. Sorrow is a summons to come up higher in Christian character. It is shocking, the way some far mers put up their corn in fields. Our actions are our own; their consequences belong to Heaven. To the Christian nothing can be so dark but that there is a bright side. The average business life of a Bos ton street-car horse is about four years. The new post office in Antwerp is to be furnished with American lock-boxes. Do you know Rose Wood ?—Albany Argun. Certainly; she is a sister to May Hogany. God hears the heart without the words, but he leaver hears the words without the heart. Hudibras calls matrimony a per verse fever, beginning with heat anj&i ending with frost. Unless al! signs fail, the crop of base ball clubs this year will be the largest ever known. Patience is taught by a fishing rod and line, having a worm at one end and a man at the other. A man who has married a rich widow calls her “Economy,” because she is a source of wealth. There ai’e more than 9,000,000 acres of public land in Alabama sub ject to entry or homstead, To work out our contentment, wo should labor not so much to increase our substance as to moderate our de sires . If there is anything more poignant than a body agonizing for want of bread, it is a soul which is dying of hunger for light. A gentle person is liko a river flow ing calmly along; while a passionato man is like the sea, casting up mire and dirt continually. < There is a gift that is almost a blow, and there is a kind word that is munificence; so much is there in tho way we do things. One of the saddest trials that come to a girl when she marries is that she must discharge her mother and de pend on a servant girl. The force, the mass of character, mind, heart, or soul, that a man can put into any work, is the most im portant factor in that work. There is nothing human that can resist divine soothing, though its grief be the bitterest, its ailliction the heaviest, its agony akin to death. Having a home that is all preach ing and no pleasure—all duty aud no fun—is a dull old treadmill that will drive the children away sooner or later. Being sometimes asunder height ens friendship. The greater cause of the frequent quarrels between rel atives is their being so much to gether. That man is certainly a hero whom fortune has dealt with severely, who patiently endures aud smothers his grief, and does his duty with a un ruffled brow. In case a waiter spills a full plate of soup on a lady’s dress, the rule is observed in all well regulated board ing houses that the lady is entitled to another plate of the same broth. The great moments of life are but moments like the others. Your doom is spoken in a word or two. A single look from the eyes, a mere pressure of the hand may decide it; or of the lips, though they cannot speak. There was but one crack iu the lantern, aud the wind found it out, and blew out the caudle. How great a mischief oue unguarded point of character may cause among us ! One spark fired the magazine, and shook the whole country for miles around. A lawyer iu Lebanon, Ind., was on trial for perjury, The jury agreed for acquittal, but just before they re turned to the court room with their verdict, the prisoner embraced the opportunity to run away, The in ference is that ho thought the jury looked at the matter iu the same light as himself. If the young man who went to call on a girl on Fourth street last Sun day, but who suddenly left the front door and shot out of the yard, with a dog attached to the dome of his trow sers, will return the dog, a reward of five dollars will be paid by the girl’s father, aud no questions asked.— Stillwater LuinJoennan. A Typical Southerner. On Willard’s political exchange there was a mild looking, iron gray haired man of fifty, who delivered himself thus: ‘The Northern papers seem to think that the murder of Porter, at Marshall, Texas, was the natural re sult of the Southerner’s sentiment in favor of homicide; but I cannot, for the life of me, see the connection, for the murderer is a Northern man and an ex Union soldier, who served in President Hayes’ regiment during the war. Do these Northern gentle men—using the word in its parlia mentary sense—expect us to reform every Northern ruffian that comes South, or do they think that our at mosphere has the malaria of murder iu it, and abuse us because we do not reform the atmosphere? The Evening Slav talks about the rule of the revolver down there. Why does not the Star shed its purifying light on Washington morality, and urge a repeal of the most indulgent law that saves from death the six ruffians who outraged a defenceless woman ? Aud why cannot this hightoned mo rality’, that judges the degree of Afime by geographical position, turn fne leg of the topographical moral dividers a little northwJi'd ? “I went to New York city after the war to make an honest living, because a New York friend told me there was no competition in that line. Well my dear sir if the gamblers in Texas were not better than some of the New York preachers we would ask Bob lagersoli to lecture on religion, Si mon Cameron to preach on polities and Mary Walker and Mrs. Oliver to teach our daughters dancing school. Why, sir, this geographical idea of crime beats your sectional all hollow Six newspapers in New York subsist on illustrated Northern immorality, and then the presses come and call us barbarians and duelists in a Southern city.— Washington Capital The Flirt at the Theatre. She sat iu the front row of the par qu'jtte circle the other night, and when she wasn’t flirting with the gen tlemen whose faces she could see, she was discussing the people on the stage. She was a beautiful blonde with dark brown eyes, and her face attracted much attention. A fair, white dun; rosy, dimpled cheeks, lips like the cherries that grew next •thfc sun, in the top of tho tree; pearly teeth, the regular rows of which showed themselves whenever she chose to let her musical laugh be hoard (which was often;) and a pretty shaped head, crowned with a wealth of golden hair and the cunningest of hats. She talked aloud, and even made up face3 at the gentlemen who stared at her. Ordinarily such a character, even though a female beauty, would have been unpleasant •ui the theatre, but somehow every body seemed pleased with the lady. She seemed to be about four years old. The only portion of tile play she seemed to understand and appre ciate was a love-making scene. When the laughter that followed the exit of the lovers in the play had subsided, the little one turned to a young lady and said in a perfectly audible voice: “Della, ’at’s dess’e way cousin Deorge tissed oo’o uver day.” The star was much disconcerted to hear a roar of laughter from a por tion of the audience just as she made hor tragic entrance on the next scene; but her tribulation was insignificant by comparison with that of a certain couple, who will henceforth leave the little flirt at home when they go to the play. Time of tlie Crucifixion. The truthfulness of the historical facts contained in the Bible is year by year being established by scienti fic research and observation. Seve ral years ago Prof. Brahus, of Leip eie, Germany, announced that accord - ing to his calculations, there was an eclipse of tho suu, on the day of Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, April 3d, 33 The eminent German astronomer, Professor Lutterback, has recently gone over the same field of inquiry, and in a letter to Professor Brahus, s a vs: I take the liberty of communicating that I had it exactly calculated after Laland and Burchard’s tabulated statements of the variations of the orbit of the moon. The eclipse be gan at one o’clock and six minutes Paris time, or throe o’clock, fifty seven minutes, and six seconds, Je rusalem time. Greatest phase four o’clock, three minutes aud four sec onds, Paris time, or six o’clock, nine teen minutes and six seconds, Jeru salem time. End of the eclipse, six o’clock, twenty-nine minutes, and three seconds, Paris time, or eight o’clook, forty-one minutes and three seconds, Jerusalem time. The 3d of April, of the year 33, was a Friday. Little Attention. How much we might make of our family life, of our friendship, if every secret thought of love b’oss >med in to a deed ! We are not now merely speaking of personal caresses. Tin se may not be the best iangu.-ge of af fection. Many are endowed with a delicacy, a fastidiousness of physical organization, which shrinks always from too much of these, repelled and overpowered. But there are words and looks, and little observances, thoughtfulness, watchful little atten tions which speak of love, which make it genuinely manifest; and there is scarcely a family that might not be richer in heart wealth for more of them. It is a mistake to suppose that relations must, of course, love each other because they are relations Love must be cultivated, and can be increased by judicious culture, as wild fruits may double their bearing under the hands of a gardener; and love can dwindle aud die out by neg lect as choice flower seeds planted in poor soil dwindle and grow single. One hundred and twenty thousand people annually are killed iu the United Statos by lung disease alone. CURRENT OPINION. Repugnant to ns. Sparta lshmaelite. Henry Ward Beecher is coming South to lecture. We are sorry to hear it. We regard Henry as a bad old boy; and for one, we don’t intend to be caught in liis crowd. Some men have grace enough to gild a bad cause. Beecher’s advocacy would injure a good one. Beecherism is repugnant to people of “plantation manners.” Tlie Democrats have Blundered. Augusta Ohron. & Con. The democrats in congress have cut a sorry figure in their contest with the executive. It is useless to mince words about the matter. They have blun dered, blundered badly and subjected themselves to merited ridicule. They have placed themselves in the attitude of one who seeks an issue but retreats as soon as he sees that his opponent is prepared to meet'. Bio Exasperating Act. Washington Post. Mr. Hayes is the first incumbent of the executive office to use a prerogative of that station to defeat the party from whom the office itself was stolen. This adds to the general condemnation of the usurper’s liigh-haudcd course. Aud the farther fact that this stolen power is used to prevent free and fair elec tions, aud to subordinate tho civil to the military power, intensities the de testation iu which the act will always be held. Will Hardly be Sittlslied. Griffin News. It may as well be said that the verdict smacks more of justice than was gener ally expected. Still, we doubt if the verdict will find favor with the people of Georgia, If after judicial investiga tion, an impartial trial under the light of all the evidence, Cox was found guil ty of the high crime of murder, from one end of the State to the other, it will be felt that justice and the good of so ciety can only be met by an infliction of the severest penalty of the law. Sherman's Strengtli. New York Sun. By running John Sherman, instead of Grant, the republicans would get rid of the dangerous drawback which exists in the popular feeling against a third term. This is an unknown quantity; there is uo way to ascertain its exact force in advance; and in a close elec tion, such as we are likely to have, it may prove decisive of the result. Pru dence dictates that such a danger should bo shunned. It is natural, therefore, for this reason, that Sherman’s strength as compared with Grant’s should steadi ly increase up to the time of the nomi nation. Gash vs. Gold. Savannah News. If all the rampant howling and senti mental gush that is being expended by the Northern radicals over the '‘negro refugees” now starving and dying in Kansas could be coined into hard cash there would be enough to give a ten days’ barbecue to all the negroes in the South and refund the millions stolen by the Freedman’s savings bank ring. But gush and gold are very dif ferent commodities. While the first is abundant among the negro-phibists and South-haters of the North, the latter, judging by the amount contributed for the relief of the Kansas sufferers, is rather scarce. Becoming Civilized. Newark Press. The Indians of Alaska were a mild tempered, harmless race, until white brought the overshadowing curse of civilization and taught them to make rum. They have learned to manufac ture a crude kind of spirits, with an empty kerosene oil can, a gun barrel, and a copper tea kettle, of which there are hundreds brought there by the Rus sians. From a mash of rye flour and molasses iu the oil cau they imitate the iirocess of our moonshiners, as no liquor is allowed to be bonded, and dietill two bottles of the vilest kind of whisky. Their demoniacal orgies aud fiendish actions when drunk, defy recital. Not Going to do It. Current Item. The Cincinnati Enquirer publishes “a long and frank conversation” with a Tilden agent who has reached Cincin nati in his Western canvass. He de clares that Tilden is not only not going to relinquish his claims on the demo cratic party, but that he will be stronger in the next convention than he was at St. Louis. In 1876 ten States went into the convention with solid delega tions against him, whereas in 1880 every State will have Tilden delegates. The South may not be quite so solid for him as it was before, but tlie difference will be made up by recruits from the North ern States. A Sgg€*silon. Detroit Free Press. A grand international assassins’ re volver association should be formed with monthly or semi-annual meetings. National “teams” from Russia, Ger many, France, Italy and America would be allowed to enter. Accurate figures of these royal folk, together with effi gies of our popular American actors, should be used as targets, so that firing at either a stage or a genuine monarch would become such an everyday affaii as to deprive the assassin of all tremor and nervousness. Prizes should be given for the maximum number of shots out of a possible thousand in the cra nial as well as the intercostal regions, so that those mouarchs or actors who are supposed to have no heart would not escape in consequence of that de fect. Iu addition to these royal and dramatic targets a figure of a clergyman or priest might be added; for, iu" Eu rope at least, the sporting gentleman for whom the association is to be formed occasionally go a gunning for the clergy. Not Kxorbituiit. Savannah News. Some of the State papers are finding a good ileal of fault because Hon. W. O. Tuggle received SIO,OOO as a fee for collecting from the general government the .$72,000 due to the State. Wo are inclined to view such criticism as rather captious. To collect the sum required a great deal of time, expense and un remitting exertion, and it was necessary that some agent of Georgia should go to Washington and devote himself as siduously to the recovery of the money and nothing else. It is stated that Mr. Tuggle agreed to do this on considera tion that if he were successful he was to receive fifteen per cent, of the amount, if not successful he was to re ceive nothing. This can hardly be considered an extravagant agreement, under the circumstances, and Mr. Tug gle not only should have his fee, but he deserves credit for securing the settle ment of a claim of many years standing, and which, but for his industrions re search and indefatigable efforts, would never have been discovered or presented to the United States government for payment.
